I got through to the surgery this morning and have already handed my water sample in. My appointment later today is with the practice nurse!! So we'll see where that leads. Still sore today with the constant urge to pee, so I'm not prepared to come home empty handed. Dierdre, its still facemasks here too, although I don't wear one as they cause me anxiety and make me feel panicky, so I say I'm exempt (which is true). I have been a few times with family members to our local hospital and never was once asked to put a mask on. Nobody bothered, and at an other surgery where I live they have signs up saying you don't have to wear one if exempt. At my surgery however, they demand you put one on as soon as you go through the door. My friend went last week and she said she had anxiety but the doctor insisted she wore one. Absolutely ridiculous. I could even see the point if the waiting room was ever busy but sometimes I can be the only one in. Wish me luck!!!
